Alfajor


Thursday 24 August 2006

So, some of the delicious food I was talking about. This is called an "alfajor," a kind of cookie sandwich that is very popular here. They are made with various combinations of cake, cookies, chocolate, and dulce de leche, a kind of rich caramel. And they are heavenly.

    This looks a lot like a cake - a good cake! How big was it?

  3. Jacob,

    It was about the size of a tennis ball. (The picture makes it look really big, I know.)

    Mom,

    I figured that would give you a little more incentive! And today I took a picture of my very first dulce de leche and chocolate chip ice cream cone - that one just might show up one day!

    Love,
    Christine
